Forgot to mention to you, Bev, that during my trek yesterday, I was only asked once if I'd lost my ring.
LOL, Ms. Mod - we're leaving for Paris in a little over a month (New Year's Eve on the Seine!), and I keep reading all of the posts re: rings and aggressive Metro crowds and clipboards, etc., and I've worked myself up into a froth thinking that as soon as we exit the plane we'll be tackled by a mob of gypsies (sorry if that's not PC, but all of the Trip Advisor people use that term). So it's good to know you were only approached once.
